   Sep 22, 2024 · Foxes are unusual creatures. A beguiling mix of dog and cat (those narrow pupils, that ability to stalk small mammals), they are gustily vocal, communicating in the squeaks and howls that can drive human neighbours mad during mating season. They are elfin, otherworldly, highly intelligent.

   Sep 29, 2024 · Have you had foxes? Is it true that they kill all the birds for fun or in a frenzy of blood lust? It’s accompanied by the sort of horror stricken relish usually reserved for a Tarantino film. Well yes. I have had a fox in the hen run, and yes, it killed three birds, taking only one of them and leaving two decapitated in a corner. Not pleasant.

   Are foxes cruel?

   • Foxes appear in the folklore of many cultures – particularly European and East Asian – as cunning tricksters.

   Do foxes hungrily ask us things?

   • I often think of Alice Oswald’s poem Fox: “A fox in her fox-fur / stepping across / the grass in her black gloves / barked at my house / just so abrupt and odd / the way she went / hungrily asking / in the heart’s thick accent.” Sometimes it does feel as though they’re hungrily asking us things. It probably depends on who is looking.

   Are foxes lonely?

   • Foxes may not actually be lonely, but another tendency of human psychology is to attribute human emotions to animals. Anthropomorphism. I have quite a propensity towards this: with my dog, with other people’s dogs, with birds, with the many foxes I cross paths with in my north London neighbourhood.

   Do foxes attack humans?

   • Foxes are unlikely to attack humans unless ill or captured and handled. They are far more likely to flee than fight. But they are opportunistic, which may explain reports of them entering people’s homes in search of food. In any case, frenzied media reports about the danger urban foxes pose to people will leave a mark on the common psyche.
